It is much more brighter than what the camera captured on the photo. Plenty of light to read my kindle, clean my gun, cook food and eat under it.

The light string is one of these cheap eBay Christmas light you could get for a few dollars including delivery from China.
Plenty of light from 3 AA battery, so far I have get about 8 nights worth of light (maybe about 5 hours a night) with the same set and it still going strong.
The current drain measured to be about 30 mA and since a standard AA eneloop have about 2000 mAh, I expect a set of battery would last at least 60 hours of use, thats about 12 nights with my average usage!!

I get the idea from Leipmeister in the BushcraftOz forum.
Damned shame not to share.

hear hear give that wise man a beer!!!!!
sleeping on a deerskin to try and smooth out the ruts and bumps in the cold hard ground gets less and less appealing the older I get.
a poofter pad (closed cell foam) goes with me now, still hard but not too bad, and alot warmer than nothing, a pile of vegetation under you helps a heap too just give yourself enough time to gather it.

Elvis...I use a closed cell pad on my stretcher mate. When I used to sleep on the ground, first thing I would do is scratch a hip hole then lay my ground sheet and pad...it was toasty warm because the pad actually insulates you from the cold ground.

If you can afford it, and are able to carry it, a self inflating Thermarest matress/pad is brilliant. I have a 3/4 length one I sometimes use.

Nothing wrong at all with your camp Gelan, although I find a hammock is a bit hard on my back these days...I wake up as stiff as a board and I'm not able to do anything for a couple of hours, or until the pain meds kick in and kill the owies.

Paul...doesn't burying your sleeping bag in the snow just turn it into a freezer mate...or do you have the bag inside a Goretex bivvy bag?
